NYC Bubble Banks

Not so mysterious NYC street spots

This appropriately named spot is called the Bubble Banks. A reader named Mark W. pointed out that it was near the mystery spot that we found through the Disciplinary Architecture Anti-Sit Archives post. The Bubble Banks photos are from Quartersnacks.com, a NYC-centric web site that even has an online guide to various spots, complete with […]

Drift

Montreal Drift

Everyone has their favorite scenes from the Bones Brigade Video Show. For me, one of the standouts was always the downhill slide sequence featuring Cliff Coleman I believe. Just typing this subliminally triggers the opening wild animal sound effects in my head. If you can imagine that sequence amped up on today’s equipment, sounds and […]

New York street spot

Mystery NYC street spot

Nestled in the pictures from yesterday’s post about the Anti-Sit Archives is this mystery spot allegedly somewhere in New York City. This picture shows the banks deserted at lunch time, but don’t ask the author where it is because he’s not flowing. I’m sure it’s not a mystery to the locals. Is it possible to […]

Titan missle silo

Government issue street spot

This Titan missile silo complex located one and a half hours west of Spokane Washington is for sale. $1.5 million dollars gets you 57 acres, three missile silos, thirteen other underground buildings and the most expensive street skating spot you can find. At least you won’t go to prison for barging it. Looks like a […]

Switch Mongo upright dog

Switch Mongo upright dog

This is part of our never ending quest to bring you the best street skating coverage. Sure he stands upright and is riding switch, but he’s got no style! Animal retard or genius? Is that a third eye? You be the judge, after the jump.

London skate plaza

Perverted thinking

Remember that cool London subterranean skate plaza project we covered a while back? Skate Daily alerts us to the fact that it’s open only to skaters under 18 except for a couple of hours one night a week. Bullshit! I bet the thing was organized and built by skaters over 18. Sign the petition and […]

Slow Children?

Slow Children?

This photo of Speedy Duncan (is that his real name?) was sent in by his father Guy. Learn the shocking truth about this up and coming X-Games daredevil after the jump.

Skaters shun parks for concrete jungle

Skaters shun parks

Australia’s Herald Sun has an article titled Skaters shun parks for concrete jungle that talks about how kids still don’t want to be confined to skateparks. While Melbourne is upping it’s skateboard deterrent budget to $50,000 a year, the city of Boroondara has an annual budget of $100,000 a year for skatepark development. 100k Australian […]

French Skate Spot

French for “Stay off the wall.”

The signs next to this public space say “Interdiction De Monter Sur Le Mur,” which I’m pretty sure means “stay off the wall.” This French spot is labeled as La Vague du Parc Clichy/Batignolles. I don’t know where or what (ou, quoi) that is, but the spot looks rad. I imagine a curb will go […]
